Front Street Park (Lahaina)

Front Street Park is the small downtown Lahaina beach park along Lahaina's historic harbor area — a Surfrider BWTF sample point being monitored as part of the post-fire recovery effort. Check the Community Water Testing section for the sample date, result and full Surfrider report. A sample describes the water collected at that place and time; it does not establish today's water quality. Check the live DOH status above separately.

Front Street Park sits near Lahaina's harbor in the downtown area affected by the August 2023 fire. Surfrider's BWTF program provides community sampling for the shoreline.

Runoff, harbor activity and recovery work are context for reading the source report, not proof of a current bacteria level. Check the sample collection date, current DOH advisories and local access updates separately.

The Hawaii Department of Health does NOT routinely test Front Street Park (Lahaina). The community-tested readings on this page come from the Surfrider Foundation Blue Water Task Force, a volunteer-led monitoring program run by the Surfrider Maui chapter.

BWTF samples Front Street Park (Lahaina) monthly using the IDEXX Enterolert method (MPN/100mL), and compares results against the same 130 Beach Action Value DOH uses statewide. See our overview of citizen water-quality testing in Hawaiʻi for the methodology and how BWTF data fits with DOH coverage.

Small sandy entry from the central park area. The harbor is just south. Fishing pier nearby. The cove is sheltered and shallow.

Lahaina is in active rebuilding. The park itself is open and the beach access is unrestricted. Tourist services have largely reopened along Front Street; respect the still-recovering community.

Front Street, central Lahaina. Several public parking lots nearby. Front Street Park sits between the harbor and the rebuilt downtown businesses.
